I speak with Laura Gellott,  Professor Emeritus of History at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside, about her new book "Helen Perry Curtis and the European Trip of a Lifetime."   Gellott's favorite book during her childhood was Ms. Curtis's "Jean & Co., Unlimited," which tells the story of a young American girl's first trip to Europe.  Decades after first reading the book, Gellott was able to uncover the fascinating real life story of Helen Perry Curtis and chronicles that story in this book.
